Ryan Wendell is well compensated by New England Patriots, just not as well as previously believed.

When news broke that the center had re-signed with the Patriots last week, his contract was initially reported as being worth up to $8.15 million over two years.

Those numbers were not correct.

ESPN cleared things up Tuesday by reporting that Wendell’s deal is actually worth $4.55 million over the next seasons. The original error was due to a typing error in the documents filed with the NFL Players Association that listed the center’s roster bonuses as $2 million instead of the proper $200,000.

Wendell started all 16 games for the Patriots last season and ranked as the 33rd-best center in the NFL last season, according to Pro Football Focus. The 24 quarterback hurries was the highest in the NFL behind Baltimore’s Gino Gradkowski's 26.

In 2012, however, Wendell ranked as the league's fourth-best center in the NFL.
